PEACEAnimals Mobile Clinic Returns to Jarretaderas John Whitten - PEACEAnimals
August 12, 2022

Jarretaderas is a bustling traditional town of residential homes and small businesses that literally lies in the shadow of the enormous new Vidanta resort on the Ameca river. It is a vibrant community that takes pride in their area with well maintained streets and a beautiful plaza.

The locals take care of their pets as well. There are few strays wandering the streets and the majority of animals we saw at the clinic this week were clean, well fed, and free of parasites.

This is the first time in several years that PEACEAnimals has been to Jarretaderas. It was a great chance to meet many new animal lovers eager to take advantage of our services. When coming to a new location there is a lot of uncertainty as to how we will be received, but thanks to locals Alma Zamora and Natalia Cuello who helped to promote the clinic, we had a tremendous turnout. Both have also been a great help to PEACEAnimals over the last several months helping with registrations and recovery and securing excellent facilities like we had in Jarretaderas provided through the local councilwoman Millo Jiminez.

Thanks also to local resident Sandra Carranza for her help with recovery and registrations. All the help is appreciated since we are short one vet while Leslie is enjoying her maternity leave with baby Coral.

Great job last week Anthony, Pacheco, and Ali!

Thank you to our donors for making our FREE clinics possible!

People ask, what they can do, how they can help? Our clinics cost $1,950 USD weekly. With the new contract, we gave our vet team a well-deserved raise and benefits which raised our costs.

Clinics are 3.5 days weekly. To sponsor one day is $550.00 USD, half day is $300 USD; or a week for $1,950. We will honor and name donors who sponsor a day or a week. You can donate online at PeaceAnimals.org.

Roie Griego, a PEACEAnimals board member, is the primary sponsor of this charity. Friends of Homeless Animals Rhode Island (FOHARI) is in part sponsoring the next 6 clinics.
